Art - Printing

The children had a wonderful time creating their own print.
First they made a variety of pencil sketches about birds or the environment.  They chose their favourite one and copied this onto printing foam.  Then they got a pen and went over their lines slightly deeper so they made a ridge.  We had discussed the use of complementary colours so the children choose the two colours that complemented each other.  They used printing ink and a roller to cover the foam and this was put onto the cardboard in two different colours.
WOW!!!!  They really enjoyed the experience.
Enjoy looking at the photos
